Hall of Famer Andre Dawson believes any players associated with steroids should not be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

“I can’t say how the voters are going to react in the years ahead but they wouldn’t get my vote for the simple reason that the rules were broken,” Dawson, a Marlins special assistant, told The Palm Beach Post this week.

“One of the criteria is integrity of the game and I think that was broken. There are probably individuals in the Hall of Fame who haven’t abided by all of the rules but this is something that was detrimental to the history of the game and that’s the problem I have.

“When I see records being shattered left and right for selfish reasons, just to make more money, that’s when I have a problem with it.’

This year's class on the ballot includes Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa, all of whom have been suspected and in some cases, linked to using performance enhancing drugs.

Players need 75 percent of the vote from the eligible members of the Baseball Writers Association of America to get into the Hall of Fame.

Dawson said based on conversations he has had with writers, he thinks Bonds will eventually get in, just not year. He also thinks Clemens and Sosa may never get in, in large to how the writers have treated Mark McGwire.

McGwire, who was first on the ballot in 2006, hit 583 home runs, but has never received more than 24 percent of the vote.

“When I think about it, the writers kind of put themselves in a pretty difficult position with the whole way they did the process with McGwire. Since that’s the direction they’re going, I don’t think it’s going to happen,” Dawson said.

“Bonds probably will eventually. I think there are lot of writers where somewhere along the lines they will switch gears and he will get in, but these other two guys (Clemens and Sosa), I don’t see it.”
